Meet Sigge who is working as a Quality Leader: 

"Ingvar Kamprad once wrote “quality must never be an end in itself: it must be adjusted to the consumer’s needs”. While he talked about physical products, this is exactly how we actively work with delivering high enough quality software products. As test leader I coach development teams on quality strategy, test automation and monitoring strategies as well as coordinate synergies across teams to deliver seamless planning experiences to our customers worldwide." 

You will work closely together with your experienced team members and together you will build and lead the Range Experience quality and test community, ensuring that we utilize synergies, continuously build competence. That includes establishing and evolving formal QA processes and overseeing all aspects of quality assurance including establishing metrics, applying industry best practices, and developing new tools and processes to ensure our quality goals are met. 

You will lead the test community and interact with and coach our product teams in their testing and working out test strategies as well as create test tooling and data generation, including an overall risk management as well as mitigation strategy planning.
